About PPF Calculator
Guide1What is PPF (Public Provident Fund)?
The Public Provident Fund (PPF) is a long-term savings scheme backed by the Government of India. It offers a safe, guaranteed return with attractive tax benefits under the EEE (Exempt-Exempt-Exempt) category, making it one of the most popular tax-saving instruments in India.
PPF has a maturity period of 15 years, which can be extended in blocks of 5 years. It encourages long-term disciplined saving and is available through post offices and designated banks across India.
2Key Features of PPF
- Interest Rate: Set by the government quarterly (currently around 7.1% p.a., compounded annually)
- Investment Limit: Minimum ₹500 and maximum ₹1,50,000 per financial year
- Lock-in Period: 15 years, with partial withdrawal allowed from the 7th year
- Tax Benefits: EEE status — investment, interest, and maturity amount are all tax-free
- Loan Facility: Available from the 3rd to 6th financial year against the PPF balance
3PPF Interest Calculation
PPF interest is calculated on the lowest balance between the 5th and the end of each month:
Monthly Interest = Balance (lowest between 5th and month-end) × r / 12
This means deposits made before the 5th of each month earn interest for that month. Annual interest is credited on March 31st. For maximum returns, invest your yearly contribution before April 5th.

- Premature Closure: Allowed only in specific cases like serious illness or higher education, after completing 5 years
